Stronger VS Weaker to

Bell Bearing Hunter is a Field Boss in Elden Ring. He is a hunter of shopkeepers who only appears at night and features long-distance melee attacks. This is an optional boss as players don't need to defeat it to advance in Elden Ring.

In order for the Bell Bearing Hunter to appear, you must enter Stormveil Castle first. He will appear only at night, so if you don't see him, make sure to exit and rest again at the nearby Site of Grace after passing time until nightfall.

See Elemer of the Briar for the Great Enemy version of this boss. Defeating Elemer doesn't stop Bell Bearing Hunter from appearing. Despite these bosses' fearsome reputation, they cannot permanently kill merchants.

 

Elemer murdered numerous instructors and merchants, and was known as the Bell Bearing Hunter.

Bell Bearing Hunter Combat information

Negations (or Absorption)

The negation numbers are the % of your damage that gets blocked. For example, if a negation is 60, 40% of that damage by that type will go through and 60% will be negated. Bigger number = less damage. A negation of 100 means no damage goes through, and a negation of -100 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.

      For easy cheese, before you spawn him, use Torrent to double-jump onto the southern shack roof and then jump to the northern roof. From here, walk to the northern edge of the roof and the Bell Bearing Hunter will spawn. He cannot hit you from there so you can rain arrows freely. Good setup is Longbow + Rain of Arrows aow with Serpent Arrows and Bloodbone Arrows. You can also use Rotbone Arrows for extra cheese. Greatbow + Rain of Arrows aow or Lion's Greatbow + Radahn's Rain also work here.

      I got him down to just a sliver of health legit fighting so many times, I just decided to cheese with the aforementioned and move on. I could have waited until end-game and came back to fight him, but I couldn't be bothered.

        When he's about to die after a long time of cheesing him with my AOW blood blade, a f*king dog mauled me from the back!

          I used to think the Crucible knight in Limgrave was overkill but damn this boss is the worst at low levels. These guys should become the elden lord honestly, they're playing a better game than us.

            Charged R2, charged R2, jump attack, riposte, charged R2, dodge left, parry, charged R2, dodge right, jump attack, riposte. Fight over. So hard.

              Try using bolt of gransax. I was able to beat the dragonbarrow one with a little ease since he is weak to lightning. Try to alway maintain huge gap and keep spamming with ancient lightning spear. This should kill him without you taking any damage.

                Honestly it sometimes took me a long time but I don’t really see what the big deal with this guy is. Play to his weaknesses, stay right up his ass unless he slams his shield into the ground, and be patient chipping until he stance breaks. Or parry the attacks that aren’t red, though honestly I’m not all that great at parrying so I got through the Dragonbarrow one by dodging. He has the smallest opening after each attack chain, once you get a feel for how to get through them it’s really just a matter of execution. Maybe I’m more patient than most, but this guy only seemed reasonably ball-busting to me. Could also be that I was using the Dragon Halberd, though only at +4.

                  You do not need to enter Stormveil Castle for these guys to appear. I started a new game and booked it straight to the Dragonbarrow Merchant's shack, hunter still spawned.

                    This is basicly the case of Fromsoft moving all the sliders that determine stats of an enemy right and putting it in the game, the only weakness this guy has is being parried (the harder one) or you can just use something like comet Azur or Blasphemous Blade and never look back. Not every boss deserves your time and effort and this guy is definetly the case for this clown.

                      for a difficult and cool looking boss the rewords are.... well not really worth it.
                      bones are easy to get even the hefty ones same for meat, the stats effect remover are good to get as for farming for multiple ingredients is annoying (dragonfly) and the gravity stone wold have been better if it just drop from the star beast next to the tree sentinel duo as it just drops multiple crafting materials that you most likely don't need.

                        Keep calm and parry, unless he uses any of his "red" flying-bullshit-sword attacks, wich are unparryable.
                        I repeat, dodge red attacks, PARRY everything else, DO NOT attack him directly, heal, panic roll, get away, breathe, etc, etc ALL those actions will be punished with a sword up your rectum. Stick to him and parry. Can't stress this enough. PARRY

                        • If someone have problem with spawn of BBH in Church of Vows - I listened to all the lore diagoles of this turtle and then just sat by the fire again. Then the hunter came. Oh, wait, I'm can add this info in this page.

                          • If you're underlevel or not confident fighting them, I recommend buying some Kukri from the Merchant at Castle Morne Rampart. You can throw them from the back of Torrent and dash away when the boss gets too close. Kukri will proc bleed and do a good chunk of damage. Make sure to throw them while directly facing the boss as throwing from the side/behind will cause the knives to miss completely. Rot and Ice Dragon breaths are also handy, but a bit more risky since they slow your movement while being cast and leave you wide open. Good luck!

                              Easiest bosses ever. You break their poise every time they spawn with any weapon - half hp minimum. Then just parry 2 times staying melee and its gone. l2p

                                100% tracking, input reading, hits through walls with no problem, has infinite poise and gives barely any room for a counter attack.
                                I'm actually proud I cheesed this unfair boss :)

                                  killed the one in caelid using a faith build at level 100. ekzykes's decay once (full cast), then dodge his swords and do it once more (half cast) to inflict rot. keep distance and dodge his sword attacks, which have a very repetitive pattern, whilst throwing black flames until the ****er dies.

                                    Try to go behind him and bait out the shield slam attack. Only attack him then. I did this and beat the Warmaster's shack one and the church of vows one. Hope this helps you, too!

                                      This guy feels way better to fight as a mage than as a melee character. He's actually very telegraphed and his attacks are super fair in terms of windows. The issue is that up close you can't really see what he is doing as the blade travels outside the camera frustum.

                                        What a pain in the ass. In almost every encounter, he spawns inside shacks or within a structure or a hall (Church of Vows or Shaded Castle). At first, the most natural thing to do at first is to create some distance due to his big ass sword. But when you do, you'll be in a world of hurt. This guy teaches you to stick to him like glue since his attacks are much easier to read and avoid. Hence, I just stay in the shack with him, with the camera adding to the mayhem.

                                          After like 30 tries, I beat the one in Caelid at lvl 122, using the Ordovis Greatsword and a bunch of buffs (GV, FGMS etc.). Most aggravating boss in the game so far. Why does a guy with Final boss difficulty scaling only drop 50k runes for your efforts? Whatever, good riddance

                                            After 3 hours and 30 tries I finally beat the one in Caelid at lvl 122, using Ordovis's greatsword and stacking GV, FGMS, and a Physick to boost strength and holy dmg. Absolutely the most punishing and aggravating boss I've fought thus far, much worse than the shardbearers (I am just reaching the Mountain Top). Only other bosses that have given me this many fits up til this point are Limgrave Tree Sentinel and Liurnia Godskin Noble. But BBH is by far the worst. Even with all the buffs I cast, he's still tanky af and at 50 vigor he could still frequently 3-shot me with that stupid flying sword trick. It makes no sense a boss this hard only drops 50k runes, Im absolutely blown I let him dismantle me that long for that reward lol.

                                            As others have suggested, DO NOT roll away from him to heal, he'll smoke you everytime. Stay as close as possible and dodge forward and slightly right so you can keep his use of the cheesy OP moves to a minimum. After dodging his final strike, you have like 1.5 sec to either get one strike in or heal then. I would only recommend a charged R2 if you successfully dodge the shield bash or slam.

                                              For the Warmaster’s Shack, you need to buy something and exhaust his dialogue before the Bell Bearing Hunter appears.

                                                Level 315, 60 vig, on NG+6 the one in Caelid is a nightmare to fight. His flying sword attack dealt VERY HUGE damage (65% HP), thank god I know how to parry these guys.

                                                      i have fought Bell Bearing Hunter at the Isolated Merchant's Shack in Weeping Peninsula at version 1.08.1
                                                      you just need to pass time till night at that grace and then again rest at it and the merchant will disappear
                                                      and then Bell Bearing Hunter will spawn

                                                              I'm pretty sure the bell bearing hunter in caelid has more than 80 stance, or takes reduced stance damage. Using the stonebarbed cracked tear + cragblade on 2 handed starfists could not stun lock him using charged R2s in half a dozen attempts whereas it was doable on all the other ones, even without stonebarbed cracked tear.

With a STR build, slow weapons were absolutely not usable since you have approximately 1 second of leeway between two of his combos. Poison did a good job, the rest was a lot of rolls, and a good greadshield, but was that a ridiculous fight

Have to use uplifting aromatics to survive a hit unless you have crazy high vig. If you have no way to lock him into poise breaks, be prepared to cheese.

                                                                            Time it right and you’ll be landing chains of charged R2’s while he’s stuck in a cycle of constantly slamming behind him, while you’re already at his back again thanks to the strafe quickstep provides when scooting around a locked on target.

                                                                                                          • Anonymous

                                                                                                            so i decided to do the dragonbarrow one using melee only, it took many tries to learn the timings, got 1 shot or 2 shot more times then i care to admit. Have to say i got tempted a lot to just do it the easy way: just kite him on the horse & use ranged attacks (properly timed rock sling makes it quite trivial).
                                                                                                            This has been my experience with many enemies i encountered in this game, fight them the 'proper' way they can be difficult to the point of frustration, fight them the other way and they are almost too easy.
                                                                                                            For me the fights overall in this game were disappointing, they seem poorly balanced as compared to previous titles from formsoft.

                                                                                                            • Anonymous

They aren't showing up in my world and I really need sanctuary stones and thin bones but I can't get the bearings......

                                                                                                              • Anonymous

Bewitch one and use it as a distraction for you to set up your DOTs (rot, poison, etc) and get to kiting distance. Rinse and repeat as necessary. There are more dogs nearby if needed. Just aggro and bewitch, then run them back to the dingus. Took me two tries once I figured this out.

                                                                                                                  • Anonymous

Finally, Great Stars + Wild Strikes ash + cold affinity, and a load of incantion buffs, and Rotten Winged Sword + Shard of Alexander Talisman did it, almost easy with that. Just hold L1 and Wild Strikes, smashes him up!

All of his attacks are waaaay too strong, and he can cover a ton of ground with his shield rush. I’m surprised the devs didn’t give him a horse.

That telekinetic sword **** looks so sick I don’t even mind getting my ass ploughed

This required coming from the nearest site of grace and eliminating all the t-rex dogs and unusually surly sheep around the shack before starting the fight to allow for ample room to keep backing away. Ate two lunches today.

                                                                                                                              • Anonymous

                                                                                                                                I just got to Caelid and this dude was straight up harder than Radahn, the freaking Starscourge.

                                                                                                                                Beat him with Zweihander+8 and Cragblade after several hours. Add in the dodgeroll and heavy attack physick. 1 charged heavy and 2-3 light attacks can open him for riposte easily. Charge the heavy when he's down and try to be aggressive. If you're lucky you can bring him to 1/3 hp before Cragblade wears off. But don't bother buffing again because it takes too long. The last 3rd of his hp will be all about skill but hopefully you still have the dodgeroll physick in effect.

                                                                                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                                                                                  The delays to his attacks are way too unpredictable. You probably can learn the timing, but easiest way to fight him:
                                                                                                                                  1. Attack him with hardest hitting melee as soon as he spawns.
                                                                                                                                  2. Once you've been hit, go on horse immediately and chug pots on good range.
                                                                                                                                  3. Throw cost-effective magic at him from the horse from max distance of the spell. Immediately turn and run after casting, flying sword kills you on the horse if connects. This method is absolutely safe if done right, but maintaining proper spacing takes time.

                                                                                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                                                                                    I had far more luck with faster hitting weapons with these guys. Patience and dodging is key with all of them. As others have said try to stay close by and get an attack in during at the end of their attack string or after a shield slam or weapon art. Finally, if dodge away or get knocked back and are in range of their 'dancing blade' attack just run to out distance the ranged attack to heal and reset.

                                                                                                                                    • Anonymous

Stay just close enough to keep his aggro while outside the range of his throw, and reapply rot either with bow or spell if the first doesn't kill him.

                                                                                                                                      • Anonymous

Without cheesing you will have to actually fight him. Yes there are openings, no you aren't spamming attacks or long cast spells, and yes he is readable.. you will die several times to this boss and your blood will be rushing like a mofo when you finally kill him. Super fun for those who enjoy the challenge and having experience in these games helps but is not necessary. Very rewarding
